The Cooler Grasp Tempest GP27U has been a hotly anticipated monitor for high-end avid gamers. That is the primary sub-$1,000 4K gaming show with first rate full array native dimming, bringing 576 zones of mini-LED goodness. For patrons trying to improve to a correct HDR gaming setup, this might probably have been in robust consideration since its announcement.
The Tempest GP27U is a kind of uncommon merchandise that simply appears to mix all of the specs that somebody would need. The fundamentals embody a 27-inch 4K UHD 3840 x 2160 IPS LCD panel, with a 576-zone full-array native dimming backlight able to over 1,000 nits of brightness. There’s additionally a quantum dot enhancement layer, additional rising HDR capabilities as much as a rated 98% DCI-P3 protection.
On the gaming facet, the monitor helps as much as a 160Hz refresh fee with adaptive sync options, though within the present firmware model VRR is barely enabled as much as 144 Hz. That is a bit odd, however 144 Hz continues to be a great refresh fee for these types of specs. It is a flat panel, too, so no want for any curved nonsense.
Another excuse why that is such a talked about product is its price ticket of simply $800, which undercuts most different true HDR displays that sometimes retail for over $1,000.
The zone depend is a bit decrease than premium fashions, and the value tag is greater than a non-HDR equal, but it surely looks like monitor lovers have been ready completely ceaselessly for a product like this to hit the market. Now let’s examine whether or not it is any good.
Design
The design is fairly customary and Cooler Grasp is not making an attempt something overly fancy. The stand is constructed from a pleasant steel and the bottom seems to be formed just like the Cooler Grasp emblem. Measurement-wise it is much like different sq. bases from related displays, however that is extra like a hoop with a round pillar. The entrance of the show is fundamental and lets the show panel do the speaking, with typical bezels on all sides and a matte anti-glare coating.
I am not a giant fan of the rear of this monitor and the general building would not appear all that premium, with largely fundamental black plastic, a couple of seams, and fundamental RGB LED components. It is positively a gamer sort of design, however would not appear to be an $800 product. That is not an enormous deal although, as you will hardly ever see the again of the monitor, and I might fairly see compromises in design than show {hardware}.
The stand has the total vary of ergonomic changes together with top, tilt, swivel and pivot, and it is fairly a secure design as nicely which is nice to see. The vary of top modify is barely okay although it does assist VESA mounting.
As for ports, Cooler Grasp contains one DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC and two full bandwidth 48 Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports, plus USB Sort-C that additionally does DP Alt mode and 90W of energy supply. That is an excellent vary of connectivity that ought to go well with all forms of customers, whether or not we’re speaking PC, consoles or different units.
As for the on display screen show it is managed by way of a directional toggle on the rear. Cooler Grasp’s OSD is a well-known design to a number of different manufacturers I’ve seen and features a typical set of options by trendy requirements.
We do see a variety of colour controls and numerous modes, plus settings for native dimming and so forth. The sport options embody crosshairs, FPS counter, timer, there is a shadow boosting mode and a blue mild filter, so all of the issues we see from different show distributors. There’s additionally a KVM swap, however from some temporary testing it appears a bit buggy and janky to make use of relative to different KVM setups.
Show Efficiency
The response time part is fairly detailed as there are numerous efficiency modes to undergo. We’ll begin with the essential stuff, taking a look at 160Hz efficiency. The Off mode has okay efficiency however typically avid gamers will desire overdrive enabled in some kind, wherein case the following mode (Regular) is genuinely fairly good. We’re already seeing a 5.83ms response common, negligible overshoot, nice cumulative deviation and even 73% refresh compliance so this can be a very usable setting at 160Hz. However we are able to do higher.
The Superior mode bumps us as much as a 4.45ms common with a rise to overshoot as nicely, however typically inverse ghosting just isn’t seen with such a low quantity of overshoot. Cumulative deviation has improved relative to the traditional mode, so that is what I might advocate for 160Hz gaming. Nevertheless the ultrafast mode I am unable to advocate, because it introduces vital and ugly overshoot, it is not usable on this configuration.
For variable refresh fee gaming the Superior mode is nice for top refresh charges, at or above 120Hz, however once we begin attending to decrease refresh charges, overshoot creeps wherein will be noticeable as minor inverse ghosting artefacts. It is not a giant deal on this mode, however at 85 and 60 Hz we see inverse ghosting charges above 30% which is noticeable in follow. So whereas I’d select Superior for top refresh charges, it is not optimum for normal adaptive sync customers, particularly in case you have a mid-range GPU.
The Regular mode is nice throughout the complete refresh fee vary although. Whereas not as quick because the Superior mode for the highest refreshes, we nonetheless get superb refresh compliance, and far decrease overshoot than Superior throughout the board. This makes decrease refreshes like 85 and 60 Hz far more usable with minimal artefacts. That is the mode I might select for adaptive sync avid gamers, and I imagine with this mode we do get a single overdrive mode expertise though variable overdrive just isn’t used. Sure, variable overdrive probably would have improved efficiency, however I am happy with these outcomes.
Talking of variable overdrive, Cooler Grasp do present a “dynamic” mode, nevertheless throughout testing this simply enabled the Superior mode in any respect refresh charges. So I am unsure what’s dynamic about it, it would not seem to allow variable overdrive if that is what you had been considering. There’s additionally a consumer configurable overdrive setting, which might ship minor optimizations in comparison with the inbuilt modes, however throughout my testing I wasn’t capable of give a notable enhance to efficiency relative to Regular or Superior. This shall be extra helpful for folks in highly regarded or very chilly working environments the place the inbuilt modes will not ship optimum efficiency.
Additionally of curiosity are response occasions with the FALD backlight lively. As with earlier displays, the outcomes we have simply been exhibiting with out dimming lively are the most typical to expertise in each the SDR and HDR modes – sometimes in HDR content material, the backlight solely makes small changes which have a negligible impression on response occasions. However there shall be some situations the place the backlight and LCD layer make giant changes, so let’s take a look at worst case habits.
Cooler Grasp has achieved a reasonably good job of syncing the backlight and LCD layer at most responses I examined, though at occasions when each must make giant jumps, this slows the transition pace of the show and there will be extra overshoot too, relying on the transition measured. The FALD backlight additionally outputs a excessive frequency PWM sign, though I could not discover this in follow. When you can discover zones switching on and off at occasions, in follow this does not trigger seen movement artefacts more often than not whereas gaming and I might describe this FALD system as quick.
In comparison with different displays the GP27U delivers an excellent response time expertise, with speeds much like different 4K displays however with low quantities of overshoot, testing at 160Hz. The panel used is quicker than some others corresponding to these used within the LG 27GP950, and roughly much like that of the 28-inch fashions used within the M28U for instance.
On common throughout the refresh vary it is very related, with the GP27U providing a great expertise that is quick and with low overshoot. Different displays such because the M28U are extra restricted within the overdrive choices and do are inclined to push overshoot a bit larger, so it relies upon what steadiness you are in search of.
Talking of steadiness, in cumulative deviation which measures this steadiness between response occasions and overshoot, the GP27U barely edges out the group of 28-inch 4K shows, although the benefit the Cooler Grasp show has is minimal. Efficiency is impressively much like the Neo G7 which suggests nice ranges of optimization even from the inbuilt Regular mode we’re utilizing right here. It would not give class above efficiency in comparison with different 27-inch 4K merchandise, but it surely’s good to verify related speeds are on supply. Additionally of curiosity is the comparability to a earlier 4K HDR monitor within the Acer Predator X27, the GP27U is a era sooner and gives an improve for these homeowners.
120Hz efficiency is essential for console avid gamers and the GP27U gives a great expertise, with first rate response occasions and low overshoot, fairly much like different choices. It is a related story at 60Hz, nothing chart topping, only a actually stable expertise at this refresh fee.
Enter latency is unimpressive on the GP27U. Right here I am testing within the SDR mode with native dimming disabled, and even on this situation the GP27U has over 3ms of processing delay, which is larger than different merchandise. It is not a horrible outcome, however this most likely is not a monitor you’d select for aggressive gaming because the refresh fee is just too low.
What’s worse is HDR latency. When native dimming is lively, the GP27U is far slower, with the processing delay rising to 14ms. It is not uncommon for LCDs to have extra enter lag of their HDR modes with dimming enabled – the Neo G7 will increase to almost 10ms of lag – however this is not an excellent outcome. I am not essentially the most latency delicate gamer so this is not an enormous deal for me, however for these taking a look at this for some HDR aggressive gameplay in triple-A titles, this latency is perhaps a difficulty.
Energy consumption is nothing loopy regardless of the usage of a mini-LED backlight which generally will increase energy in comparison with conventional shows. The GP27U really makes use of much less energy than the X27 because it omits the G-Sync module, although you might be nonetheless taking a look at a few 10W improve over non-HDR choices of the identical panel dimension. This is not an enormous deal as energy consumption is manageable on this show, even within the HDR mode which does not exceed 100W to point out 1000 nits.
The GP27U doesn’t assist backlight strobing expertise which is typical for an HDR-enabled FALD backlight LCD. It is a trade-off to realize good HDR efficiency on trendy shows, perhaps we’ll see strobing reintroduced in some unspecified time in the future however proper now this is not a typical function on HDR displays.
Coloration Efficiency
Coloration House: Cooler Grasp Tempest GP27U – D65-P3
Coloration efficiency is up subsequent and the GP27U occurs to be an especially huge gamut monitor. We’re not solely getting 98.7% DCI-P3 protection – one of many widest outcomes I’ve recorded – however 99% Adobe RGB protection as nicely, giving us nice protection of two common huge colour areas. In complete we get 85% Rec. 2020 protection, which up to now is the very best recorded protection I’ve examined in a gaming monitor, the quantum dots listed below are doing nice work to boost the colour area.
Default Coloration Efficiency
Out of the field accuracy is attention-grabbing. Greyscale efficiency is great, with the GP27U reporting a comparatively flat CCT curve and first rate adherence to the sRGB gamma curve. This results in low deltaEs, an ITP common of simply 3.58 could be very robust for a gaming show. Nevertheless this show does ship with its huge gamut totally unlocked by default, so there’s vital oversaturation when viewing common SDR content material within the SDR mode. This show has such a large colour gamut that some areas are clearly oversaturated, corresponding to frequent pores and skin tones which generally seem redder than normal on this show. Excessive deltaEs within the saturation and ColorChecker assessments should not a shock.
In comparison with different shows, manufacturing unit greyscale efficiency is great and I am glad Cooler Grasp put in some work there. Nevertheless ColorChecker efficiency is sort of weak resulting from its huge gamut mode being utilized by default.
sRGB Mode Coloration Efficiency
The GP27U contains a number of show modes for different colour gamuts, together with sRGB, DCI-P3 (really D65-P3 based mostly on my testing) and Adobe RGB. I’ll give attention to the sRGB mode, however the different modes have related outcomes relative to their colour gamuts. Within the sRGB mode there’s a slight discount to greyscale efficiency with larger deltaEs largely coming from modifications to white steadiness, it is nonetheless first rate general although.
As for the gamut clamping capability, the sRGB mode is okay, however the clamp reduces gamut protection within the reds too aggressively – which can also be the case for the P3 and Adobe RGB modes. This limits complete colour area to 91% sRGB which is mediocre. The accuracy of this mode in any other case is appropriate, although once more it is disappointing some areas to paint controls (corresponding to white steadiness) are disabled when the sRGB mode is used.
Calibrated Coloration Efficiency
For a correct calibrated expertise that delivers the total sRGB gamut, a software program calibration is required and we used Calman for this. Doing this supplied the perfect expertise in colour managed apps as a single profile can entry the entire sRGB, P3 and Adobe RGB capabilities, plus the calibrated outcomes are typically fairly good, particularly for greyscale as not an enormous quantity of adjustment was required. You are not going to have the ability to obtain glorious {hardware} calibrated outcomes, however for colour correct work this monitor’s extraordinarily huge gamut offers a number of versatility for those who want a number of colour gamuts.
I must also point out that utilizing native dimming within the SDR mode results in unhealthy colour efficiency, and I would not advocate doing this. Cooler Grasp doesn’t allow dimming within the SDR mode by default, and we examined with dimming disabled. There are gamma points when utilizing this mixture that seems to blow out the show. Typically I do not advocate dimming for SDR anyway as flaws with native dimming are extra noticeable in desktop apps with excessive distinction edges, than they’re enjoying video games or watching movies within the HDR mode.
Most brightness was robust, coming in at 586 nits which could be very excessive for an SDR monitor and nicely exceeds what most individuals would really use below regular circumstances. It is not that a lot larger than another HDR-capable displays just like the Acer Predator X27, however nice nonetheless. Minimal brightness might be higher although, it bottoms out at simply 68 nits.
As for native distinction ratio from this panel, the GP27U offers 1080:1 after calibration which is customary from an IPS of at present. So for those who’re utilizing the monitor with native dimming disabled otherwise you’re viewing content material the place native dimming is ineffective, you may anticipate a reasonably low distinction ratio, positively a lot decrease than a VA LCD or OLED. Having these mini-LEDs is important for good HDR efficiency.
Viewing angles are good, however do not anticipate something outrageous, that is your typical IPS viewing expertise which nowadays tends to offer nice viewing angles. Uniformity was stable, the centre part did not deviate a lot from the center on my unit with a small quantity of fall off across the edges, notably the underside proper edge, although this will range from unit to unit.
HDR Efficiency
Shifting now into HDR efficiency and that is clearly an enormous promoting level of the GP27U and possibly the principle motive you’d purchase it. The excellent news is that the {hardware} supplied is genuinely able to true HDR and gives all three pillars of HDR to an appropriate degree.
Brightness exceeds 1000 nits, colour area is robust due to nicely over 80% Rec. 2020 protection, and distinction is enhanced because of the 576-zone full array native dimming mini-LED backlight. The zones are organized right into a 32×18 grid with every zone liable for roughly 15,000 pixels, a modest zone depend however efficient for HDR.
By far the most important difficulty with the GP27U is the firmware issues utilizing it within the HDR mode. Enabling HDR within the first place is sort of janky, the monitor must be within the “Auto” mode for HDR to work correctly, however leaving it on this mode for SDR causes points. So it is not a lot an “Auto” mode however an “On” mode. This makes it troublesome to simply swap between HDR and SDR modes whereas preserving nice picture high quality.
Secondly, you can not use HDR and adaptive sync on the similar time. It is a dealbreaker for the monitor and it is baffling the way it was shipped on this situation, given how important variable refresh charges are to the PC gaming expertise. Any try to allow VRR and HDR on the similar time will disable one or the opposite function, so to make use of HDR it’s important to settle for that VRR will not work, at the very least within the present firmware. That is on high of the 160Hz mode additionally not being obtainable with VRR.
Cooler Grasp informed me {that a} firmware replace enabling HDR and VRR on the similar time shall be supplied this month, nevertheless because the monitor is presently obtainable and transport to customers on this situation, we opted to evaluate it utilizing the present firmware. We desire to not evaluate merchandise based mostly on the guarantees of the producer, fairly what it could possibly do proper now, particularly if the product is within the fingers of patrons already.
The reasoning for stopping HDR and VRR on the similar was additionally regarding to me. Cooler Grasp informed me it was the crew “being conservative” and that they wished to “decrease any doable flickering that will include activating native dimming (PWM) together with Adaptive Sync”. I hope this does not imply the GP27U will flicker at occasions with HDR and native dimming enabled, however we’ll must see what occurs when the firmware ships – we’ll make sure you take a look at it completely.
Placing apart the firmware issues for now, how does the GP27U look in its HDR mode? Fairly good, due to its FALD backlight. We’re getting a robust mixture of excessive peak brightness and dimming capability that makes most HDR content material look nice. It is a clear step up over pretend HDR displays and semi-HDR merchandise with edge lit dimming, it is actually an evening and day comparability: 576 zones is much superior for HDR than pathetic 16 or 32 zone configurations. It is greater than an order of magnitude tighter dimming than these merchandise.
There are a number of key battles to discover although. The GP27U seems to be clearly higher than the Sony Inzone M9 in difficult HDR circumstances, with 576 zones offering a big enchancment over 96 zones, so for those who’re tossing up between these two at the same worth the GP27U is healthier for HDR. Much less blooming and haloing and brighter content material is feasible on the Cooler Grasp choice. I additionally imagine the GP27U offers superior dimming to the Acer Predator X27 with its 384 zones from what looks like a century in the past, so this might really be an improve choice for these homeowners.
As for the GP27U in comparison with larger finish choices just like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 or OLED choices, the GP27U has a extra fundamental HDR expertise, extra entry-level though entry-level would not actually apply once we’re speaking about an $800 monitor. The Neo G7 has over 1000 dimming zones, and OLEDs have per pixel dimming; 576 zone displays like this simply cannot ship the identical degree of dimming capability as these merchandise, and the Neo G7 with its VA panel additionally helps improve distinction in troublesome conditions.
In a sensible sense, the GP27U is fairly much like these higher-end displays when HDR content material is brighter or would not have particularly small vibrant objects on display screen. In lots of conditions that I examined I might say the GP27U has a very good HDR presentation with good distinction. It is when scenes get harder that the GP27U’s extra restricted zone depend will be uncovered.
Giant areas of darkish shadow element proper subsequent to vibrant objects can reveal some blooming into the darkish areas, which is rather a lot much less noticeable on the very best finish HDR merchandise. Subtitles and letterboxing may cause points, too, relying on the content material. Then we additionally see issues with star fields and Christmas lights, which look higher on the Neo G7 however solely actually shine on OLEDs. Actually any scenes that embody small vibrant components, smaller than the zone dimension, aren’t optimum on this kind of HDR monitor.
Throughout my time utilizing the GP27U I did discover blooming at occasions, so I might anticipate related if you find yourself shopping for one – however I do not assume that ought to take away from what’s in any other case a great worth HDR expertise. This monitor offers a considerable improve over SDR and does provide the true advantage of HDR, simply not the entire time such as you would possibly see from a higher-end product.
Let’s put some numbers to this dialogue. Firstly we have to assess which HDR mode is the perfect, given there are three native dimming settings. These three settings modify the height brightness on supply and barely tweak EOTF monitoring, with the Excessive setting providing the very best brightness. I discovered the medium setting to supply the perfect expertise, it solely drops peak brightness by a couple of hundred nits in comparison with excessive (nonetheless nicely over 1000 nits) however extra intently follows the EOTF curve within the mid to higher vary. The low native dimming mode is dimmer not only for peak brightness, but additionally a lot of the higher EOTF vary.
The medium mode is what we’ll be utilizing for testing, and this is a take a look at how the monitor fares for darkish content material, fairly much like the excessive mode. Black ranges are raised considerably in comparison with the place they need to be, so shadow element is not as wealthy as on another HDR displays that push low luminance content material darker. Coloration accuracy can also be common, it is not horrible however wonderful for HDR gaming.
Full display screen sustained brightness is great, with the GP27U able to over 1000 nits which is healthier than most different HDR displays I’ve examined and considerably superior to OLEDs. This degree of brightness is held for peak flashes, in truth there is no such thing as a distinction between peak and sustained brightness for this show.
What’s spectacular is that for 10% home windows, brightness will increase to almost 1500 nits within the medium dimming mode, which is nicely above many different merchandise aside from the attention scorching PG32UQX. It is really larger than the Neo G7 by over 200 nits. For all window sizes we recover from 900 nits from this monitor which could be very robust ranges of brightness, no points right here.
For finest case single body distinction, the GP27U offers a great outcome, although not so good as the perfect HDR displays. With a results of about 150,000:1, this exceeds our minimal requirement for a real HDR product. When any a part of the display screen is illuminated all zones are lively however at a really low luminance degree to point out black, so this prevents an primarily infinite distinction ratio on this take a look at. However nonetheless it is a good outcome.
In worst case assessments the GP27U would not fare as nicely. When darkish and vibrant objects are shut collectively, the GP27U’s average zone dimension results in solely a 3x enchancment in distinction in comparison with native. The PG32UQX with twice the variety of zones will get a few 5x enchancment, whereas the Neo G7 is a superb monitor due to its mixture of 1196 FALD zones and VA tech.
Whereas that is solely a mid-table outcome, the GP27U has clearly higher dimming skills than any of the pretend HDR merchandise that sit beneath it, and even beats a number of the fundamental HDR displays on the market such because the Predator X27 and Inzone M9.
Within the checkerboard take a look at once more the GP27U sits about in the course of the desk, offering round a 2.4x improve on native distinction. That is a great outcome, however I believe the low excessive brightness outcome in comparison with the perfect HDR displays is indicative of the way you’re extra more likely to see blooming on the GP27U than the perfect HDR merchandise. Does the Neo G7 look 7.5x higher for HDR content material? That is hardly ever the case, however in tough situations that monitor does certainly produce higher visuals.
Necessities Guidelines
Ultimate part of this evaluate is the HUB Necessities Guidelines which seems to be to see if Cooler Grasp are promoting this monitor accurately and whether or not they’re assembly fundamental efficiency requirements.
Within the first two sections, they do not run into many points with largely correct promoting. Manufacturing unit calibration is a borderline outcome, Cooler Grasp promote deltaE lower than 2 which is feasible utilizing the deltaE 2000 customary, however much less so utilizing dEITP that we use.
The movement efficiency part is problematic. The GP27U is marketed as a 1ms monitor and whereas it’s quick, 1ms just isn’t achievable utilizing sensible settings, at finest this can be a 2ms show. Enter lag is lower than superb even with out native dimming enabled, variable refresh just isn’t supported within the HDR mode and there is not any backlight strobing.
Nevertheless the HDR part is nice, as this can be a true HDR product – Cooler Grasp are even a bit conservative with HDR brightness, I used to be simply capable of exceed 1200 nits in testing.
The ultimate phase covers points and defects. Whereas there are not any obvious {hardware} issues like bizarre subpixel arrays, flickering or pixel inversion, there have been a couple of too many firmware bugs, points and limitations for my liking, so I’ve labelled this monitor as having average firmware issues. It is usable, however a number of the stuff you’d anticipate to work collectively like HDR and VRR, or 160Hz and VRR, should not accessible.
What We Discovered
The Cooler Grasp Tempest GP27U is a really attention-grabbing product and there is good motive why this can be a hotly mentioned show within the monitor group in the intervening time. It has good {hardware} capabilities and powerful specs at a very engaging worth, however can we advocate you to truly purchase it?
Proper now, the reply to that could be a comfy “no.” The lack to run the HDR mode along side adaptive sync and the total 160Hz refresh fee is a dealbreaker, and isn’t what I might anticipate from an $800 product. Variable refresh fee assist is essential for easy gaming, particularly at 4K the place usually you will be unable to run on the most refresh fee, so having to decide on between that and HDR is an unacceptable compromise.
There’s additionally different firmware associated jankiness that gives the look this monitor – which is out there to buy proper now and is transport to prospects – is extra of a beta launch than a finalized product.
Now, Cooler Grasp have stated they’re engaged on a firmware replace to permit HDR and VRR to work collectively, however to be sincere this firmware ought to have been obtainable earlier than the monitor shipped to prospects. It is an enormous oversight, and we weren’t precisely relieved to listen to that the HDR and VRR mixture was disabled to be conservative and “decrease any doable flickering.”
There’s nonetheless a number of questions marks there and we would advise patrons to not buy this monitor till we are able to verify the firmware replace works as supposed.
With all of that stated, if Cooler Grasp had been capable of deal with this difficulty with out introducing different issues, the GP27U could be a superb monitor that is value shopping for. The important thing promoting level is the true HDR expertise at a decrease than typical worth, and we had been fairly impressed with what it could possibly do in that space.
576 zones of full array native dimming offers a big step up over an SDR expertise or horrible edge-lit dimming, and along side dazzling brightness, the GP27U is able to each first rate shadow element and really vibrant highlights. It would not have the identical glorious, tight dimming as some premium HDR shows, however this HDR expertise is unquestionably value paying further for in comparison with a fundamental 4K SDR gaming monitor.
Cooler Grasp have additionally been capable of ship stable efficiency in different areas. Response occasions are nice for an LCD, and seem nicely optimized even within the included modes, not to mention dabbling within the consumer customizable mode. It has a great refresh fee and the one lingering concern is enter lag, although to many who shall be a non-issue, particularly for HDR gaming the place added lag is frequent.
We had been impressed with how huge the colour gamut is, offering nice protection of sRGB, P3 and Adobe RGB plus a whopping 85% Rec. 2020 protection. Manufacturing unit greyscale calibration is de facto stable, brightness is great and viewing angles are good. Apart from a couple of points with the built-in modes and utilizing dimming with SDR content material, the GP27U is a reasonably versatile monitor for content material consumption in addition to productiveness.
All of this for $800 is a superb worth, and ends the Sony Inzone M9’s quick lived place as a great choice for HDR gaming beneath $1,000. Proper now there’s no competitors to Cooler Grasp’s GP27U – if you would like 4K true HDR round $800, that is the choice.
However it’s additionally a good worth, as a result of the displays you may get for above $1,000, just like the LG C2 OLED, Samsung Neo G7 and Alienware AW3423DW, are all a step up from the GP27U in efficiency, generally considerably. $800 feels proper, you are getting a great deal. It is now over to Cooler Grasp to repair the problems with the GP27U’s firmware, so we are able to advocate you to purchase it. We’ll maintain you posted.
